Inside The Ambulance: Saving Lives While Overworked And Underpaid

This week, Joanna Sokol details her experience on the job and why the field is desperate for better worker rights.
Guests: Joanna Sokol, author, A Real Emergency
Host: Elizabeth Westfield
Producer: Kristen Farrah

Guests: Dr. Alexandre Hudon, psychiatrist, assistant clinical professor, University of Montreal
Host: Greg Johnson
